    Asked on August 19th, 2026

    What hotels/b&b will we be staying at each night? Where do we meet the tour on October 6th?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written August 2026

      We offer guest houses on this tour. Ullapool: Bed & Breakfast or Foinaven. Skye: Caledonian B&B. Accommodation is all standard, equates to a Western 3-star standard, always featuring en-suite rooms and usually a restaurant.

  • J

    Jordan

    Asked on June 9th, 2026

    Is there a private room for solo and can you send me the pictures for the guest house room?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written June 2026

      Yes, a private single room is available on this tour for solo travellers. If you'd like your own room, we can quote the single supplement for your preferred departure date. Regarding room photos, the accommodation on this tour is in locally owned guesthouses and B&Bs. The properties can vary by departure, so we aren't able to provide photos of the exact room in advance. However, the rooms are clean, comfortable, and private, with either an en-suite bathroom or, on rare occasions, a private bathroom located just outside the room. The hotel section on the tour page includes examples of the types of guesthouses commonly used.

  • C

    Cristina

    Asked on May 5th, 2026

    Does the tour offer single rooms for solo travelers?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written May 2026

      This tour is operated with B&B accommodation, offering a more local and authentic experience. For solo travellers, you'll have your own private room, so there's no need to share.

  • S

    Sara

    Asked on March 31st, 2026

    One room for two people and another for one person, at the end of July, what is the price and availability?

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written March 2026

      I can absolutely check pricing and availability for 1 twin room and 1 single room for you. What currency would you prefer your quote in? (USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, etc.) Also, do you have a specific July departure date in mind, or are you flexible?

  • S

    Samuel

    Asked on January 29th, 2026

    Is this trip doable for a person who can only walk for about 10 minutes at a time without needing to sit down. Person can climb 2 flights of stairs.

    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written January 2026

      Although the Physical rating of this tour is easy, the pace is fast, and you will need to keep up with the pace of the group. We are likely to be hiking on the Isle of Sky and walking part will be much longer than 10 minutes. So I'm afraid this tour can be challenging if you need a rest after 10 minutes walk.

  • T

    Teresa

    Asked on December 18th, 2025

    Can You help with pre hotel and getting to pick up spot

    Accommodation
    Travel Support
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written December 2025

      Yes we will be happy to offer you a pre accommodation in Edinburgh, we just need to know when would you like to travel and how many people will be in your group.

  • K

    Kylie

    Asked on June 22nd, 2025

    Would this itinerary allow us to ride the "Harry Potter" train?

    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written June 2025

      While the Scottish Highlands From Edinburgh – 5 days tour is a fantastic journey, it doesn't include a ride on the Jacobite Steam Train (aka the "Harry Potter" train), and the stop in Fort William is too brief to make that happen. We travel to the jaw-dropping Glenfinnan Viaduct. Harry Potter fans will recognize it from the second movie, when harry and Ron attempt to catch up to the Hogwarts Express in a flying car. We cannot guarantee that the Jacobite Steam train that still operates here will cross the bridge during our visit, but the viaduct itself remains a wonderful viewpoint and feat of engineering.

  • L

    Lindsay

    Asked on June 17th, 2025

    Is the tour of the north of Scotland for 5 passengers guaranteed to go ahead on September 18th?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written June 2025

      The 18th September is already guaranteed, and we currently have 7 spaces available. The availability is subject to change at any time.

    Lynda

    Asked on June 5th, 2025

    My daughter(31), myself(73) and my best friend(73) are traveling together. My daughter and I will share a room with twin beds and my friend will probably have her own room, unless there is anyway to save her some money and book us in a larger room with 3 beds. If she will be charged the solo rate anyway, then there is no reason to room us all together. I have looked at the guesthouses mentioned for Ullapool and Portree and wondered if we can specify which one would be our first choice, as they are quite a bit different. Also, when would we be notified as to where we were going to be staying once we sign up and pay the deposit?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written June 2025

      We could offer 1 x TWN room for yourself and your daughter to share and your friend could book a single room on their own, to save money we can request a Triple room however would need to contact our local team for cost and availability. The hotels listed on our website are ones which we frequently use on this tour. We reserve the right to substitute these hotels to ones of a similar standard. Guesthouses do book very quickly and if booking 2 rooms even as a group I must inform you that there is a chance your friend may not be booked at the same accommodation as you and your daughter, we always do our best to keep those travelling as a group together however as rooms are limited, we can not guarantee. You can request your preference and we would be more than happy to let our local team know. Accommodations are confirmed 60days prior to departure and will be reflected on your travel vouchers once booked.

    Caitlin

    Asked on May 5th, 2025

    how much hiking is involved in this trip?

    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written May 2025

      This tour is rated on the easy side in regards to physical activity. As long as you're physically fit and have no mobility issues, you'll be fine. We usually recommend you be able to walk at least 2kms without assistance before signing up to this tour. You won't be hiking more than 2kms at any one time.
